This episode of the podcast narrows in on the manner in which early childhood experiences inform, often unconsciously, our adult perceptions, behavior, and self-identity. Our guest, author and former Christian minister Bruce Sanguin, takes us into and through a (common) legacy of early childhood wounds, the relational context through which they are inflicted and later reiterated, as well as the role psychedelic therapy plays in healing those childhood wounds.  Bruce is not an armchair advocate for this work, but a man that has learned from his own healing with psychedelic medicines. Along with a structural discussion on his model for healing childhood wounds and the potential of psychedelic therapy to help the process along, he shares his personal story of how his childhood wounds led him to the Church, how healing them required leaving that church behind, and how psychedelics help him learn to love again. **Full episode breakdown below** --LINKS-- For links to Bruce's work, full show notes, and to watch this episode in video, head to Https://bit.ly/ATTMind98   --- SUPPORT THIS PODCAST —  Patreon: https://patreon.com/jameswjesso Donations: https://www.paypal.me/JWJesso Merchandise: https://www.jameswjesso.com/shop/ More options: https://www.jameswjesso.com/support/   --- BOOKS —    Decomposing The Shadow: https://www.jameswjesso.com/decomposing-the-shadow/ The True Light Of Darkness: https://www.jameswjesso.com/true-light-darkness/   _______________________ EPISODE BREAKDOWN How our early life explains set us up for our perceptions of reality and self in adulthood Core Unconscious Beliefs (CUBs) how they form our personality Personality vs Authentic Self What is happening when we become “triggered” the traumatic origins of existentialism How our CUBs and CABs guide us into toxic relationships We are wounded in relationships; we heal in relationship Enter psychedelic therapy Healing with Ayahuasca Healing with LSD/MDMA (candy flip) psychotherapy What psychedelics do in the therapy The (attachment) role of the therapist in psychedelic therapy Getting trapped in the spiritual ego Sanguin’s journey into and out of the Church How the church helps reaffirm childhood trauma What is God, both before and after psychedelics.    --- OTHER LINKS —    Website: https://www.jameswjesso.com/ **Speaking Tour**: https://www.jameswjesso.com/events/ Podcast: https://www.jameswjesso.com/podcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jameswjesso Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/attmindpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jameswjesso   --- PRODUCTS —    Art: https://www.jameswjesso.com/product-category/art/ Teeshirts: https://www.jameswjesso.com/product-category/clothing/ Lectures: https://www.jameswjesso.com/product/psychedelics-ritualistic-suffering-and-the-meaning-of-life-lecture/

Stephen Gyllenhaal is an award-winning film and television director, writer and producer. His producing credits include the documentary IN UTERO, "a cinematic rumination on life in the womb and its lasting impact on human development, human behaviour, and the state of the world. Tapping into cultural myths, popular movies, and technological trends, the film demonstrates how our experiences in utero – particularly traumatic events – preoccupy us throughout our lives, impacting our decisions and shaping society." [source] Stephen takes us on a poignant exploration of the topics discussed in the film he produced with his wife Kathleen, IN UTERO. We talk about the psychological and epigenetic impact of early life and uterine environment, as well as the means by which we can unravel the negative impact of our past into profoundly positive potentials for well-being in our lives today.

The influence of unconscious memories of childhood and the womb on the adult’s perception of the self and of reality. Transgenerational trauma. Self-fulfilling prophecies and unconscious self-harm. Modern society’s cultural war zone: intellectualized sexism, racism, and classism. Perinatal psychology (psychological impact of the birth experience). The vital importance of the mother/child bond. The larger community of caregivers, on being a father. The vital impact of bonding. Being yourself, being OK with not being OK. Feeling unsafe and building safe, but necessarily comfortable, spaces. Taking responsibility as a parent. Healing trauma, from childhood to adulthood. Embodiment and the interconnection between the mind and body. How to support mothers. Treating adults with trauma – safe spaces and psychedelic therapy. An interesting synchronicity between Stephen’s near-death experiences and my dream the night before.    

Have you ever wondered what your local landscape was like in years past — before sidewalks, stop signs and modern buildings? In this episode, Dan Flores — author of American Serengeti andCoyote America — gives us some context about the history of our North American landscape and ecology. No matter where you are in the world, though, the story he shares is pertinent and relatable. In our very recent past, the Great Plains region of North America was a wild and undomesticated landscape rich with megafauna. Dan shares a bit about how the forces of domestication shaped the ecology of the Great Plains we know today and the promising conservation efforts going into the ReWilding of the American West. EPISODE BREAKDOWN: How an early fascination with nature & wildlife shaped Dan’s life and work The ecology of the American Serengeti Are wild horses an invasive species of the American West? The role of Homo sapiens in ecology Ecological involvement of Native Americans Native American use of bows and atlatls Canids of North America The wolf in your backyard Coyote’s trickster archetype The war on canids What do coyotes eat? ReWilding the American Serengeti Dan’s prognosis for the future of the human species

I was humbled by my conversation with Stephen Jenkinson, teacher, author, storyteller and founder of the Orphan Wisdom School. This, my friends, is a very powerful interview. Stephen will make you re-think everything you thought you knew about dying. Episode Breakdown: * How to come to terms with death * The hallmarks of "dying badly" * What "dying well" looks like * The consequences of being kept away from ground zero of human mortality * We live our lives as if dying is the annihilation of life * Considering “after-life" * Understanding that your death does not belong to you * A disconnection from our ancestors * Learning from death
